Schroders is a global investment manager which provides active asset management, wealth management and investment solutions. We aim to provide excellent investment performance to clients through active management. We serve a diverse client base that includes pension schemes, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, high net worth individuals, family offices, as well as end clients through partnerships with distributors, financial advisers, and online platforms.

Established in 1804, we have around 5,500 people across 36 global locations. Schroders' success can be attributed to its diversified business model, spanning different asset classes, client types and geographies.

Our 2027 Summer Internship Programme runs for 10 weeks, starting on Monday 14 June 2027 and finishing on Friday 20 August 2027. This internship is designed to give you a unique introduction to the asset and wealth management industry and offers valuable insight into how your chosen department operates within Schroders.

Throughout the programme you will:

• Take part in comprehensive introductory training to build your understanding of the business
• Be assigned to a team where you will contribute to live projects and gain meaningful hands-on experience
• Shadow experienced professionals and learn directly from leaders in the field
• Have opportunities to network with colleagues and other interns, helping you build connections for your future career

This internship provides practical experience, skill development, and a strong foundation for those interested in pursuing a career in the asset and wealth management industry.

Finance at Schroders is about much more than numbers. It gives you a unique view of how a global asset manager operates - from financial control and regulatory reporting, to partnering with senior leaders to drive strategic, commercial decision making. As a Finance intern, you'll work with teams that help the business make informed decisions, manage risk, and deliver sustainable growth.

This internship is best suited to candidates who are genuinely interested in building a career in Finance. While you'll gain exposure to the wider asset management industry, the role is not an investment management or client-facing internship.

We're looking for proactive, curious and motivated interns who are excited by the opportunity to understand how Finance supports a global investment management business. You'll enjoy working with numbers, asking thoughtful questions, building relationships across teams and communicating your ideas clearly. We value people who take ownership, are willing to get stuck in, and bring enthusiasm and energy to new challenges.

• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with numerical information
• Broader business awareness and a basic understanding of how the asset management industry operates
• Curiosity about how businesses operate and how Finance supports decision-making
• Clear verbal and written communication skills
• Proactive approach, with a willingness to take ownership and follow through
• Ability to build relationships and work collaboratively with different teams
• Good attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work
• Comfortable using Excel, PowerPoint and Word, with willingness to develop technical and AI skills further
• Interested in developing a long-term career in Finance

Our Finance function is central to delivering the firm's strategic objectives and driving sustainable, profitable growth. The team provides vital financial insights, supports well-informed decision-making, and ensures strong financial and regulatory control.

The Finance department's core focus areas are:

• Supporting sound commercial decisions through insightful analysis and business partnering
• Enabling effective business operations with efficient finance processes
• Safeguarding the organisation with robust financial and regulatory…
